Welcome to the IAPN website.
Thank you for taking the time to look around our site. We have a vision and a goal to unite with as many prayer networks, ministries, pastors and leaders as we can, to pray for Illinois. Many of you have already been praying faithfully for your communities for many years, and in some cities and regions many pastors are already working together to pray for their regions and the state.
We are encouraged by these expressions of faith, prayer and unity and would like to get to know more of you, pray with you, and connect with you through our Prayer Newsletter. Take a moment to let us know about yourselves, and sign up to receive our Newsletter to receive the prayer updates we sent out for our state.
We are hosting the 2008 IAPN State Conference in Springfield, Illinois on November 7- 8. We are happy to have Apostle Jim Chosa as our guest speaker this year, and are looking forward to a great conference.
We invite all you who are intercessors, prayer warriors, prayer leaders, pastors and all those who have a great interest in praying for our state to join us at this year's conference.
Praying with you,
Apostle Don Lyon

About Jim & Faith Chosa
Married
on September 15, 1979 and have ministered together since 1982. Jim is an
enrolled member of the Keweenaw Bay Chippewa Indian Tribe of Northern Michigan.
On August 30, 1979, the Spirit of the Lord dramatically captured his attention
while Jim was in a bar by changing a bottle of beer into vinegar, and by His
spoken word “Put it down on the bar!” and then again “I said! Put it down on
the bar!” delivered him completely from alcohol and drugs. He was saved 12:01
AM January 1, 1980 and has been teaching and preaching the Word since 1982. In
Indian Country, especially to his brethren, Jim is known as “Lead Eagle.’
Faith is an enrolled member of the Crow Indian Tribe of Montana; her Indian
name given to her when she was eight years old is “Sees Holy.” She grew up in a
home where Christ was honored by both of her parents for as long as she can
remember. She has a great spiritual legacy on both sides of her lineage, but
perhaps the most prominent is her link to her great-grandparents, Goes Ahead
and Pretty Shield of the Crows. Goes Ahead was one of five surviving scouts for
General George Custer at the Battle
of the Little Bighorn who later, after a dramatic encounter through a vision
with the Lord Jesus, became one of the first deacons in the Baptist Church of
Crow Agency. Both were very prominent shamans of their tribe, and both were
converted from these old ways to Jesus Christ.
Together they have established Day Chief Ministries, Inc. in August, 1993, and
the Red Earth Church
in the Wilderness in 2004. They minister in all regions of the country with
national and regional ministers equipping prayer intercessors and building
relational fellowships between Native and non-Native cultures within the Body
of Christ to cleanse, heal and deliver the land. On October 3, 2003, they
established The Red Earth Worship-Warrior School, an online equipping resource
for those who God has called to forerun and establish His new things in their
territories. They are members of the National Apostolic Council for the United
States Strategic Prayer Network. Jim is a member of the Apostolic Council for
the International Coalition of Apostles under the leadership of C. Peter
